Y'know, it's not that I'm disinterested in the idea of journaling, it's just that I'm too busy either actually doing stuff or playing Tony Hawk or whatever to actually do it. Doesn't help that I've been kinda weirdly forgetful and all over the place lately? I tell people I have surprises for them after I told them what the surprise was two days prior! Just today, I've written a group newsletter, I'm writing this journal, I was sketching, I want to write a Scanimate blog post for the holidays, possibly others...
So yeah, apologies if this just turns into links or I forget to update it outright! I'm just busy and my mind is elsewhere.
Posted the full-color Cammy and Setter! I'm really happy to finally be settling into a style I feel is comfy for me at the moment. Dot eyes, simple shinies, simple shading, I think it just looks super appealing and it's a good way I can focus on form and learning how to draw more things than futzing around with my eyes, trying to get them to not look empty or too small or whatever.
Contradicting that a bit, I'd like to toy with the way I sketch and get comfier pumping them out. Y'know, so I can get my ideas out easier and quicker. I don't think I'll be able to do the loosey-goosey thing any time soon, but I know I should be sketching my ideas more, and this morning, I started doing that...and he got out of hand. I was looking at Treasure Keepers (the Neopets thing) and some art from one of my favorite artists, and...
...Out popped a wizardy Cammy whom I just need to shade now! Took a break because my hand was starting to wear out, but man, I really like this boy. I am so happy that Cammy's come so easily to me, he's a tricky one to draw.
This week's looking real solid at work because I'm actually off three days! Well, off two days and I'm taking Friday off as well. I was scheduled then without asking and after eight months straight of even coming in on my days off, for $11 an hour or roughly $50 for that day after tax, I'm just not feeling like it. I've let them know I'm not coming in on the 16th, including the store manager who was totally on board with me not showing up if I give proper notice, so that's that. Sold it to him as I've had plans on that day for weeks since Fridays are my normal days off, and that's kinda true...
Instead! I'm gonna be streaming for the first time since November 2021! I've been playing a lot of Vib-Ribbon lately and I've asked the group to send me stupid songs to play in it. I know none of what they've picked, and they haven't exhausted all their choices yet. They've got until midday Friday or so. Fear. (Also, someone will be joining me on the mic! The lucky one has yet to be picked...)
Apparently it takes like six weeks to get your passport after you mail off the forms? So I'm gonna be settling that so it's all taken care of come the new year. It still doesn't feel real yet, but I've had some close calls.
